Filipino Conqueror: Daniel Ponce De Leon to Fight for World Title

Daniel Ponce de Leon, the hard-hitting southpaw, will be fighting for the word title against the reigning and defending WBC featherweight world champion Johnny Gonzalez at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Penalosa at that time aimed to become a world champion again but lost in a decision many thought he won. In Penalosa’s succeeding fight, he finally got another world title in the expense of Johnny Gonzalez.

On the other hand, Bautista was then a young 20-year-old promising fighter thought to be following the footstep of Manny Pacquiao. De Leon denied Bautista’s dream to become a world champion knocking him out in the very first round.

Since then Bautista has been fighting for International titles, and unable to secure another title fight in the world stage.
